On June 1, 2025, Tanzanian superstar Diamond Platnumz announced his marriage to singer Zuchu via Instagram, sharing photos and videos from a private Muslim ceremony.
The post, accompanied by a cryptic message about maturity and silence, stirred a whirlwind of reactions among fans, amplified by confirmations from Diamond’s mother, Mama Dangote, and sister, Esma Platnumz.
While some celebrated the union, others questioned its authenticity, suspecting it might be a publicity stunt for a new project.
Diamond reflected on his growth, stating he’s learned to stay silent despite false narratives, a maturity he credits to divine wisdom.
He hinted at a past marriage, writing, “I know everyone has their own ideas about me and marriage, but I’ll tell you more when the time is right.”
This ambiguity left fans divided, with some believing the wedding was genuine and others speculating it could be a promotional tactic.
Mama Dangote confirmed the news, posting, “Alhamdulillah, it went well. Congratulations, my son Naseeb and your wife Zuhura.” Esma echoed the sentiment, congratulating the couple.
The ceremony featured Diamond placing his hand on Zuchu’s head, symbolising acceptance, and a joyful Zuchu declaring, “We are married!” in a car ride video.
Their relationship, which began in 2021, has been turbulent, marked by a public breakup in November 2024 and reconciliation attempts.
Earlier in 2025, Diamond announced plans to marry Zuchu before Ramadan, but delays and his flirtations with others, including at Juma Jux’s wedding, fueled doubts.
Zuchu’s mother, Khadija Kopa, had previously dismissed marriage claims, citing unresolved dowry issues.
Fan reactions online reflect the divide.
@Sansikarry expressed joy, saying, “I’m so happy, I’m crying with excitement!” while @Smaal_Wizz doubted the wedding’s authenticity, noting Diamond’s love for publicity.
@Kishoro interpreted Diamond’s caption as hinting at a prior marriage, urging fans to “rethink his message.” @Bsweetheart called it “an obvious lie,” and @Shafii described the situation as a “crossroads,” citing conflicting posts from Diamond’s associates.
@Vj_Kupungua questioned if the account was hacked or if a new song was coming, reflecting widespread skepticism.
The couple’s history of public declarations and setbacks, including Zuchu’s 2024 onstage marriage plea during their Watasubiri performance, adds context to the skepticism.
